Veteran rapper Doug E. Fresh got all dapped up for the Loft. The venue, which held Soul Stylz' and Close To Famous weekly BREATHE event, was the spot for Fresh hosting the After Party for the concert he headlined along with rappers Slick Rick and Rob Base that was held earlier that nite at the Pageant.

CLUB CROWD

NOTE: This nite we hear Karma's Frdiay nite opening was the weakest of the three night Grand Opening night as far as attendance (Saturday and Sunday had better turnouts) . This nite, Friday, the crowd was bit scattered (Most of the party people went across the street to the Loft where there was a line for MPAC's Eye Candy party). We tried spotting the VIP area for the free drinks and food, but we did not see it and the renovations were light (the VIP wall downstairs is now gone). The all white decor that was to be titled Heaven according to Slim's Facebook page during the original Grand Opening weekend promotions a month ago that was supposed to be located upstairs was also not there.

Host D Woods formerly of Danity Kane came through to greet the crowd but co-host singer Latoya Luckett we hear did not attend cuz the crowd was fleeting away after midnight and stayed in her STL hotel.

In the house we spotted Shaki of Derrty ENT, House of Comedy assistant Maria Maria Wilson and Evening Whirl's J Bailey, Hot Rod and Sister Cyn.

We left around 1ish to hit Exo before Slim arrived to the club.
